Valentines Gift

So this is what I made for Valentines Day. Well not so much made, more extracted. I have regularly photographed what I call 'Love Knots' which I often see in lengths of softwood. I thought I would see if I could remove it and the result is below.

The Heart sits in its own natural cup from which it separates from at the point it was extracted from the wood.  

A gift

Love this that I received the other day from Sarah, a student at Chelsea College who has cast these lovely plaster 'plug in socket' as part of a collection. This went straight up on the wall. 

The cast has amazing detail with the back wood chip wall paper with the whole thing seemingly ripped out of the wall.

Saatchi Gallery, Kings Road

I popped into the Saatchi Gallery the other day to have a look at the new exhibition, Gesamtkunstwerk: New Art From Germany. Certainly some interesting things to find there at the moment. Below are a few images I shot. For more info go to http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/

A Box for the Hall

Thought it was about time I made a little storage box for the hall. A perfect place to keep some special shoes in! I will make one for my shoes some day!!

At the end of the hall was a perfect place for a storage unit. Made from Walnut and Black MDF it is a perfect place to keep some special shoes out of harms way.
